Maxim Integrated ICL7116CPL Product Overview

The ICL7116CPL is a high-performance, low-power, 3½ digit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produced by Maxim Integrated. Designed with precision and versatility in mind, this integrated circuit (IC) is adept at converting analog signals into a digital format with impressive accuracy and reliability.

Key Features

• High Integration: The ICL7116CPL integrates a seven segment decoder, display driver, reference, and a clock all into a single monolithic chip, which simplifies the design and reduces the component count in digital voltmeter applications.
• Low Power Consumption: This device is optimized for low power operation, making it suitable for battery-operated equipment. It ensures minimal power drain and extended battery life.
• Auto-Zeroing Capability: The ADC comes with an auto-zeroing feature that eliminates offset errors, providing more accurate readings.
• Overrange and Underrange Indication: The ICL7116CPL is capable of detecting both overrange and underrange conditions, alerting the user when the input signal is out of the measurable range.
• True Differential Input and Reference: The differential input and reference allow for more precise measurements, making it ideal for applications that require a high degree of accuracy.

Applications

The ICL7116CPL is suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

• Digital multimeters
• Data acquisition systems
• Portable instrumentation
• Battery-operated devices
• Panel meters

Technical Specifications

With a guaranteed zero reading for 0V input on all scales, this ADC ensures that the zero is maintained for small temperature variations. The ICL7116CPL operates in a single power supply mode ranging from +4.5V to +7.5V, or in a dual power supply mode with a ±5V supply. The device comes in a 40-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), which is a standard through-hole mounting package.

For designers and engineers seeking a reliable and integrated solution for their digital conversion needs, the Maxim Integrated ICL7116CPL offers a compelling blend of performance, ease of use, and power efficiency.
